We are in the middle of a pandemic, as you are well aware. Most of us have never seen anything like this in our lifetime. There is a climate of fear, uncertainty, loss, anger, blame, and so much division swirling around in our broken world right now. But God gets the last word, and there […]
LR Lab #4: The No-Wait Dinner Tool for B...
A couple years ago when I got my first Instant Pot Duo 8 Qt, I had no idea how it would revolutionize my cooking. I had never used a pressure cooker before (and to be honest I was kind of scared of pressure cooking after some explosion stories I’ve heard), but I was intrigued by […]
LR Lab #3: Cleaning the Bathroom in Piec...
If you have had a chance to read Lifestyle Redesigned, you have started to get familiar with applying Lean thinking to the processes you do every day. Now I am going to let you in on a little secret that I didn’t cover in the book. Lean thinking encourages quick changeovers between tasks. This usually […]
LR Lab #2: Meal Planning

Work as Worship
I will be the first to tell you that I need time alone with God. My spirit craves that daily time of renewing. But I find it a challenge to make time to sit down with Him in this season of life. In my single years in college, I could control my schedule enough to […]
His Vision is My Strength
As women we often take a lot upon ourselves. Whether we work outside the home or not, many of us are spread thin with responsibilities at home and with our families, ministries, and other commitments. If you have spent much time in Proverbs 31, you might feel like that should be the norm for women. […]
Hearing God’s Voice
This is my first Mark Batterson book, and I am so glad I picked it up. As a bestselling Christian author, I figured he would have something worthwhile to say on the topic of hearing from God, and my expectations were not disappointed. Ever since I was a new Christian I have been interested in […]
